Located in a select pre-war building designed by Rosario Candela in the sought-after private enclave of Sutton Place, this exceptionally desirable penthouse duplex fulfills every requirement: perfectly scaled light filled rooms with high ceilings surrounded by terrace and a completely appealing penthouse floor currently comprising a luxurious primary suite of three rooms plus a large terrace with pergola. A private elevator landing leads into a large reception gallery with attractive curved staircase and French doors to the south-facing terrace. Opening from the gallery is the handsome wood paneled living room with north and south exposures and wood burning fireplace and the library with full bathroom and French doors to the terrace. The formal dining room has an east-facing bow window and is served by a fully equipped kitchen with copper sink, Viking Range and Sub Zero refrigerator. A private hallway with powder room and coat closet leads to a west facing bedroom with bathroom and a north-west facing bedroom with doors to the terrace. The upper level currently serves as a luxurious primary suite with bedroom, dressing room, a well appointed master bathroom and very large study with vaulted ceiling and north, south and east exposures. There is access to the expansive roof terrace from the sitting room and dressing room. This floor also affords the opportunity to add an additional large bedroom and bathroom whilst still retaining a large terrace. This apartment affords a rare opportunity to acquire a magical space that is equally well suited for entertaining and private enjoyment and has been renovated with new kitchen, bathrooms, windows, multi-zone audio video and central air conditioning throughout. The original architectural detail has been meticulously restored and maintained and the terraces are equipped with an irrigation system and lighting.
